The Opportunity I am working in partnership with a long established (over twenty-five years) provider of manned guarding and associated services.

The sales department within the company has a very open culture and is geared towards sitting down as a team and finding the best strategy to secure the business. So, for example a BDM may have strong relationships or knowledge of a particular client, sector or geographical area, this knowledge would be utilised in the best possible way to win a contract. As a company they actively create leads although the incumbent will be expected to have their own contacts.

Commission is paid at 1% to target, 1% bonus for hitting target and 2% above target (this is open ended).
